Above is a distantly digiscoped shot of one of the Wood Sandpipers that has been present at Maxey GP for the past couple of days. There were two present yesterday, but only one was seen this morning by myself and Chris Lines. I have been reliably informed that this bird (and the other one from yesterday) is a juvenile due to its `clean` appearance. An adult at this time of year would be worn and dull looking.

Maxey is a good site for this lovely little wader, most years bringing sitings of them.
